sooooo...
You want a new server so that you have the chance to form your own powerbloc?
I'm still not clear as to what prevents you from doing it on this server. Another guy did point out that nothing's preventing another block from forming.
Also, as to the "nothings happened" among the powerblocks... I grant I wasn't here then, but what I read seemed to imply that in goons and bob's early battles, goons did ultimately lose and received some aid/space from RA from when they were enabled to regroup and become a major power again.
Not trying to do a goons vs bob thing here (and I admit that was a while ago), but boy does that seem to me as if it's an example of exactly what you're talking about... a major power having had a significant deleterious effect on another major power. On the same order... wasn't that why goonfleet was formed in the first place? To take on BOB, the then current major powerbloc? They seem to have done ok to me... even if they kicked me out of the space I lived in a few months back. 
Anyway, my point is... the opportunity exists here and now to do these things. These things weren't only possible a long time ago, there's really nothing preventing it from happening now. The real answer is that most groups that try to build themselves up like this end up with an internal failcascade. It's HARD to manage a massive powerbloc like that... quite frankly, not eveyone can do it. And even if you have a leader who has the capacity to do it, you still have to have people who are capable of following them. A large powerblock has it's own "humps" that have to be crossed, and frankly most fail at crossing them. Most groups are made up of a crapload of people who all want to be leaders, and few people who understand that you have to have followed before you can lead.
Is it a suprise that groups that have managed to form a bloc are now working towards keeping that bloc? A certain amount of stability is only expected. There's plenty of groups working to destabilize things too.
